STEP 5 - PRE-ASSEMBLING THE STRAIGHT SIDES OF A TRADITIONAL BUTTRESS OVAL POOL ONLY:
A) Start by laying the strap end channels out on the ground so
that the open ends face down. Notice the two slots on top of
each of these channels. You will not be using these slots in
the construction of the pool, but pay attention to where they
are located in the diagrams. They indicate which way the
channels are facing. See Fig.7
B) Now take the straight side 4"x4" Upright and push it down
over the strap end channel where those slots are located.
Position the open end of the straight side upright to face the
short end of the channel (the inside of the pool) as shown
in Fig.8. The two holes on each side of the upright should
line up with two of the holes on each side of the strap end
channel. Secure the parts with two 5/16" x 4 ½" bolts and
two 5/16" nuts. Repeat for all assemblies.
C) Once all of the straight side uprights are attached, you can
begin attaching the struts. This is done by pushing the
angled end of the strut (the end with two holes on each
side) over the end of the strap end channel and the other
side around the straight side upright. The hole on each side
of the strut lines up with the hole in the straight side
upright that is farthest from the open end of the straight
side upright. The two holes on the other end of the strut
line up with the only two holes in the back end of the strap
end channel. Secure the struts using three 5/16" x 4 ½"
bolts and three 5/16" nuts. See Fig.9 for visual instructions.
D) Now you can install the straight side bottom rail connectors.
Use one per strap end channel. Place the connector on top
of the strap end channel so that the open part of the
connector sits inside the straight side upright. The
hole
connector will line up
in the straight side
with the hole between the two slots
on the strap
end channel. Secure the piece using a
#12 x ¾" screw.
See Fig.10 for visual instructions.
*Please do not be alarmed if you are not using all of the holes in the strap end channels. We use this same
channel for a few different products so there are some holes that you will not be using for this pool.
Please follow diagrams to be sure you are using all of the correct holes.
